Anthony has to write a 5 sentence journal entry each day.\u00a0 His birthday (and party) was on Monday the 25th.\u00a0 On Wednesday the journal question was, “What is the nicest things that someone has done for you?”\u00a0 He wrote:\u00a0 “The nicest thing someone has done for me is my mom. She made me a cake for my birthday. It was chocolate and had a new transformer on top of it.”\u00a0 Not quite 5 sentences, but it was the nicest 3 sentences he has written!<\/p>\n

Lynette of course asked if this was a ‘normal’ cake.\u00a0 And it was… for the most part. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Brynn even had 2 helpings and she usually doesn’t like chocolate cake at all!\u00a0 So that was fun to see.\u00a0 I also made a applesauce spice cake for those that didn’t want to have so much chocolate.\u00a0 Since it was snowing that day I refused to buy ice cream, but made hot cocoa instead. Which was why I had to have the applesauce spice cake – to dip into the hot cocoa.\u00a0 The hot cocoa was also made from 50%\u00a0 powdered milk from Grandma’s Country Kitchen.\u00a0 That is the BEST powdered milk I’ve tried thus far.\u00a0 (Having grown up with a lot of powdered milk, I’ve developed a kind of ‘taste’ for the stuff. And I’ve had some pretty awful stuff.)\u00a0 My boys will even get excited when I get Grandma’s Country powdered milk.<\/p>\n

Grandma Leavitt was there and even gave the traditional recycle card!\u00a0 (A long-standing family joke and tradition.\u00a0 Grandpa was there and I’m sure was smiling.)<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful party and family council afterward.<\/p>\n
